LEVAN, Marjory Edna Cunningham - Passed from life at St. Mary's-by-the-Lake Hospital in Kingston on November 12th. Surrounded by those whom she loved into life, Marjory died with great grace, having lived with and battled cancer for over 20 years. Born in China to missionary parents, Marjory spoke two languages of love her entire life: food and hospitality. Those who sat at her table and joined in her parties will recall her joy in good company and her energy for adventurous living. Travelling was Marjory's delight, never giving up on her wonder for the world which God has given us. Through much of her life Marjory was joined with Victor Levan, her husband for over 60 years and together they knew joy and sorrow, always thankful for family and friends. Vic died in 2006, but Marj's children Peter Levan (Rhonda Lenti), Mary Beth (Bill Schram) and Christopher (Kelly Higgins) were all with their mom in her last moments. Marjory's joy of living continues on in her 6 grandchildren: Jeremy Levan (Carolyn), Robert Levan, Marybeth (Nathan Glentworth), Rebecca Caven (James Caven), Matthew Levan and Griffin Higgins and 1 great grand child: Wesley Levan. A memorial service will be held in the church that supported Marjory and Victor with such compassion: Chalmers United Church (Kingston) on Sunday, December 16th at 4:00 p.m. (followed by a pot luck dinner). As an expression of our gratitude for the life Marjory and Victor lived, donations may be made to the Chalmers United Church Memorial Fund or a charity of your choice. Marjory's work and wish for humanity is captured in the vision of peace and prosperity found in the prophet Micah: “And all shall live under their own vine and fig tree and none shall be afraid.“ (Micah 4:4) May that be her lasting benediction.
